Illustration for Motor Vehicle Sales Act 2003

When you look at decisions made by the Disputes Tribunal, you can see them publicly. The Tribunal must make these decisions available as soon as possible after the last day to appeal. You can find these decisions on a website that is free to access. The Tribunal must put a copy of the decision on a website for you to see. This website must be available at reasonable times. You can access the decision without paying a fee. If someone appeals a decision, the Tribunal must say so when they make the decision public. They do this by adding a statement to the decision that it has been appealed. This way, you know the decision is being appealed when you read it.
